Can you believe that? When was the last time you saw a Citroen SM?

When was the last time I saw a 968 and wasn't looking at my own driveway?

Besides, when you consider that the SM was sold here 20 years before the 968, it's not so impressive. They've probably all rusted away to powder anyway.

I just had an idea!

Libertarians are planning to all move to New Hampshire so that they can finally have enough people in one place to elect a senator or something. Why don't we all move to Florida so that we can see 968s everywhere we look and pretend that they're common and popular?

And forget the one Burt Reynolds put into the water in The Longest Yard. Lee Majors, a 968 owner, also owned a SM.

I've been to FL enough to know that I don't want to live there. Heading to Jacksonville next week in fact...

Florida is paradise in the winter compared to so much of the rest of the country.

the only time I have seen one was when I drove to Cocoa Beach, Florida. It was a red coupe!

Of the 12,000 or so that they did sell, only around 1,200ish made it to the UK, so rare indeed. 306 sports a few hundred CS`s the rest coupesand cab`s. The only time I see any is at 968 event, we had 66! at a Silverstone meet a few years back a record.
It`s sad to see the amount of cars that have been through the breakers over here, there must be only around 600 left.
Rare beast
